Sonia found herself unable to respond to that.
His words made perfect sense, so she was at a loss for words.
The reason why accidents were known as accidents was because they were unpredictable and unable to be anticipated; it could happen the next day or even the next second.
As she thought of that, she tugged his arm with a smile and spoke coyly, "Alright there. I'll be sure to watch out from now on, so relax, alright?"
She tilted her head to look at him, looking all adorable.
He was not angry at all from the start; in fact, he only put on an angry look to make her realize that he was worried about her.
Now that she had realized on her own accord that it was wrong of her to act tough, she had also apologized for her mistake, which gave him no reason to continue with the act.
Moreover, he could not bear to keep it up any longer upon seeing her adorable look.
He freed up one hand and gently pinched her on the cheek before squishing her cheeks together. Her face was scrunched up from his move and even her lips were in a pout.
He lowered his head and kissed her hard on her pouty lips before letting go of her with a contented expression.
"That's enough. Let's have lunch.”
She snorted at him in response.
Geez, this man! It's so shameless of him to take advantage of me as soon as he gets the chance!
Toby noticed her slight gesture from the corner of his eye, but he did not expose her behavior. He merely curved his lips into a smile and clearly, he was in good spirits.
They approached the dining table and Toby pulled out a chair before placing her on it. Once she was comfortable in her seat, he then started to serve the dishes on the cart, one after the other.
He served the dishes while Sonia removed the cover from them.
They divided the work and were very much in sync with each other.
After he had placed all of the dishes on the table, she had also removed the covers from all of them; dainty little breakfast bites were revealed in front of them.
She pointed to the chair across from her. "Have a set. Let’s dive right in."
He grunted in response, "Hold on, don't rush."
After he had said that, he twisted open a bottle of milk and poured some into a glass before placing it in front of her.
Once he had done that, he then pulled out the chair across from her and took a seat. "Let's eat."
She took a sip of milk and glanced at the breakfast spread in front of her. Suddenly, she smiled. "It's 11.00AM right now, but we’re just about to have breakfast. We're behaving too wilfully, aren't we?"
Toby picked up a danish and placed it on her plate before responding calmly, "No. There are no specific ways of how life should be led from the start anyway. Rules were passed on by our forefathers, but who stipulated that we had to adhere strictly to them? At times, it would be a totally different experience to live life without adhering to the rules. That applies to having breakfast too. Doesn't it feel different and special to have breakfast during lunchtime?" "Indeed so." Sonia picked up the danish handed over by Toby and took a bite from it before nodding.
He took a sip of coffee and continued, "However, though this may be true, it's best to just experience such rebellious behavior once in a while. It would be wise to avoid doing so because if this becomes a habit, it would be detrimental to our stomach."
"Obviously, I'd know that." She lifted her eyes and shot a look at him nonchalantly.
As for Toby, he chuckled without saying anything else.
The couple continued to enjoy their brunch in silence thereafter.
After finishing the meal, it was nearly 12.00PM and they were due to check out.
Toby walked out of the bathroom after rinsing his mouth and he handed over an exquisite paper bag to Sonia.
She blinked and took it from him with a confused look. "What's this?"
"A change of clothes," he replied, "I got Tom to send them over in the morning."
